Default Physics of the sim

There are particular reason for paying money for a Reflex, a G2 or AFP and not paying anything for the FMS. One of the reason is that a lot of people really went very deep into a complicated matter. Displaying an aircraft is one thing, calulating a behaviour is something completely different. In case of the Reflex, it is an ongoing development for more than 10 years now whith people making there living on a good product. We believe - and our customers usually testify that statement - that the flight equations and the ground handling (how the aircraft reacts to different surfaces and obstacles) of our simulated aircrafts are VERY close to the real thing. The FMS is interesting because it is free and plenty of free aircrafts are available. Sometimes, I have the feeling the the FMS is more towards a collectors item. FMS is definately NOT a professional simulation so you can't expect a lot. Please watch earlier threads about the quality of the sims and you will already get an idea about other users opinion.
